Stone row in Gartaquill

Sited on a level patch of ground at the base of a S-facing slope. Two stones aligned ENE-WSW, that to the W (H 1.65m; dims. 1.5m x 0.4m) leaning slightly northwards and the other 1.6m inclining to ENE (H 1.7m; dims. 1.9m x 0.3m). Together they form a row 5m in overall length. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).

Likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age, the stone row may have had ceremonial or ritual significance, possibly aligning with solar or seasonal markers. Such arrangements are often associated with funerary or territorial practices in prehistoric landscapes.
